Wed, 29 Apr 2015 23:14:26 +0000http://blumenthals.com/blog/?p=14935#comment-843868A few months ago I was looking up some local places & found they all had horrible reviews.

I decided to be a hero & write truthful, positive reviews since the places were all very good every time I went.

But this week, I looked for my reviews & couldn’t find any of them publicly posted….after reading this article I am starting to understand not to trust Yelp. Bastards.

Mon, 30 Sep 2013 05:25:58 +0000http://blumenthals.com/blog/?p=14935#comment-694121I have filed a case Pro Se against Yelp Inc.
Because they have ruined my business (Seattle’s Eastside),
with their false reviews and one star rating on Google.
I have refused to sign their contract and/or pay them “advertising money”.
Could you help me to find an attorney?
The case is becoming complex, for a non-attorney.
Thanks,
Doug

Fri, 31 May 2013 05:26:29 +0000http://blumenthals.com/blog/?p=14935#comment-636827The Yelp review filter is broken. I have “checked in” to a business twice and still get my reviews filtered. Unless you write long detailed reviews , have lots of friends, and review a lot of businesses, you are filtered. Also, an impression is one crappy way to judge effectiveness. One day Google will stop giving Yelp relevance and they will be nobody. Can’t wait for that day.

Mon, 27 May 2013 22:25:24 +0000http://blumenthals.com/blog/?p=14935#comment-634925Nothing surprising here, Yelp is notorious for their “Sales” pitches. several clients have mentioned how Yelp’s sales reps have called their office to blatantly offer preferential treatment if they cough up the $. Preference as in not filtering reviews and even removing negative ones.

We all know what their game is, so hopefully this provides motivation for more local businesses to defend themselves, and perhaps it can serve as a warning shot to Yelp that they will have to be more careful with their “tactics”.
